Weddings in these economic hard times.

I have heard a lot on the news about the hard times people are having right now because of the economy. It is hard out there right now, people are being laid off and there are job freezes making it harder to find a job. In spite of this, there are those who are optimistic (I'm one of them) and in love. Lovers tie the knot no matter what the economy does but how they celebrate is different. I've been a thrifty person all my life so I thought it might be a good idea to give some advice to those planning a wedding without breaking the bank. I am making this a series because there is so much to be said. The first installment will be buying the ring.

Like I said in the first post, I sell supplies from both my shops. I sell vintage jewelry, stained glass, and sewing supplies. Here are a few of the supplies I have available.

Getting Started

Well, I have talked about doing this for a long time but I finally did it. I created my own blog. I am Eileen Patterson, the Miss Eileen of Miss Eileen's Jewelry Supplies and the Goofing Off of Goofing Off Art Supplies. I've always had a creative bug, but, like many, learned a lot of different things but never mastered any, therefore, I sell supplies so those who have mastered the arts can go forth and create. It is a thrill to see what others create with the supplies they buy from me, whether it is a sewing pattern or a metal disc. I am looking forward to hearing from some of my buyers so I can post their creations for the world to see. Thanks for looking.
